Marry Anna

Marry Anna

A Poem by Charles Chukwuani

I close my eyes
and for a few seconds, it's beautiful.
I'm back home in Sayreville
watching the painter guy paint
while my mom bakes pies
and I make paper airplanes
with the painter's daughter.
Anna.
Her laughter like sunlight growing
flowers in a young boy's heart
but he was too short
too skinny
and too scared to gather the bouquet
and hand them to her;
so he just sat and dreamed
about a world where he would marry
Anna.

But then I find myself in the Mariana
the deepest depths of the sea of my mind
drowning 
without a single ray of light
in sight
and the heart's flowers have all died.
